Austin Custom Home Builder Hosts Party at Escavera

Sterling Custom Homes builds premier Austin custom homes in beautiful locations. Normally, they only build custom homes, but a speculative home was recently erected in Escavera at Flintrock Falls to showcase their talents to the fullest. This home was recently toured by clients and real estate agents at a preview party for the community, where only 15 lots remain.

Escavera is surrounded by the Jack Nicklaus designed Flintrock Falls golf course. The homesites in this community are perfect for taking in the view of the Texas hillside. Guests at Sterling's event were able to see the beautiful completed home, a custom home in the framing stages and a "quick delivery" available home with a newly poured slab.

Catered by the Hills Country Club, the event was a success as past clients and real estate agents learned about this unique property. The homesites are aggressively priced between $265,000 and $295,000 and are sure to move fast.

Turn Your Master Bath into an Oasis

One of the best things about purchasing a new home in this day and age is that it will most certainly come with a "luxury spa bath" in the owner's suite. Typically this means a double vanity, garden tub with separate stand-up shower and a different, secluded area for the commode. There are other features and finishes that can help make these master baths truly luxurious, but these are the basic elements.

Unfortunately, if you have recently purchased a re-sale home or own a home that is 20 years old or more, your master bath is probably extremely small with a shower/tub combo and one tiny vanity. Why not turn your your small master bath into a luxurious oasis where you love to spend time?

Sterling Custom Homes can help you transform your current bathroom into a luxury spa bath. The Austin custom home builder will work closely with you, listening to your desires and needs, to create the bathroom of your dreams. If you have no idea which features are important to you or even available, the expert staff at Sterling will be able to offer suggestions and help guide you through the creative process.

They have created luxurious master baths that feature over-sized showers with multiple shower head, two-person jacuzzi tubs, custom cabinets, televisions, custom tile work, marble floors and more. The options to create your own personal oasis are endless. Call Sterling Custom Homes at 512-263-2214 to begin your bath remodeling project.
